I did almost the same thing at my wedding. Hershey kisses are always yummy! The roses sound nice and that is a good idea with the kids.

Candy favors are traditional are perfect. I suggest skipping the wooden rose, I would not welcome a trinket that is not to my taste. Stick with the candy.

Have you thought about just not doing favors at all? I know that when you are in Wedding Industry Land you are surrounded by voices telling your that everyone is eager to judge your character and creativity by your choice of favors, but the real life fact is that most people won’t even notice if you have favors or not. Many people hate getting favors, as it’s just "Junk I have to fool with" and the Goodwill Store is hip deep in discarded favors.

I think the idea of something like coloring books and crayons for young children is good, but aside from that favors are pretty much a waste of your time and money, not worth stressing about.

i think those are GREAT gift ideas

for my sis-in-laws wedding we bought the small
mints (pink, green, yellow, orange) forget what they
are called….wrapped them in tulle, and then i crocheted
a HUGE pile of little baggies to put them in……
we bought some thin ribbon to ty the bags with and
put their name and wedding date on ribbon with pen

i LOVE the idea of wooden roses………how incredibly
inventive…….
a memento that will last FOREVER

Good Luck
Congratulations

You’ve obviously thought it through, and it would have to be one of the most sensible (yet thoughtful) ideas i’ve ever heard. Wedding favours you can actually use. Go with it.
